Product Description:
Torrey Pines Scientific offers completely solid state convection
chilling/heating incubators for bench top use that are reliable,
accurate, and easy to use. Being Peltier based for both
heating and chilling, the units have no compressors or CFC's
making the units truly energy efficient. The IN30 Series
has 27.5 liter volume, and the IN40 Series has 55 liter
volume.
The models IN30 and IN40 are not programmable. The models
IN35 and IN45 are fully programmable. The IN30 and IN40
have a 5/8" liquid crystal display that reads temperature
to 0.1 C. The display can be changed from temperature to
timer by a single key stroke. The timer reads in hours,
minutes and seconds. When the timer counts down to zero
it sounds an audible alarm. The timer is settable to 100
hours maximum. In addition, timers have a user settable
Auto-Off which turns the heater/chiller off at zero time.
The keyboard is tactile touch with audible feedback and
has UP Arrow, DOWN Arrow, TEMP, TIMER and AUTO-OFF keys.
The models IN35 and IN45 are fully programmable by the
user through the keyboard. The units can store three routines
in memory for instant recall and use at any time. Each program
has ten steps where each step is a temperature target, temperature
ramp (if desired), and a run time. Steps can be set for
running multiple "ramp and soak" cycles, or for just running
at one temperature for a given time and then switching automatically
to another temperature for another given time. At the end
of each step is a "cycle" step which can be set to repeat
the prior steps one to nine times. The IN35 and IN45 also
can be used in the non-programmable mode as a normal incubator.
The display on the IN35 and IN45 is a two-line alphanumeric
type with sixteen characters per line. The display shows
target temperature and actual temperature to 0.1 C, ramp
rate in C/hour, and timer in days, hours, minutes, and seconds
to 99 days maximum.
All models have several safety features such as a watchdog
circuit to monitor the microprocessor, and power interrupt
protection that resets the units to what they were doing
before power failed after power returns.
The chamber of the IN30 and IN35 is 12" high by 10" deep
by 14" side to side. The units are supplied with two racks
adjustable to four different levels. The chamber of the
IN40 and IN45 are 24" high by 10" deep by 14" side to side.
These units are supplied with four racks adjustable to six
different levels. The racks are electropolished steel. The
chambers on all units are seamless, molded white ABS plastic,
and very easy to clean. All units have an inner and outer
door. The inner door is clear plastic for sample viewing
while minimally upsetting the chamber temperature.
All units have a painted aluminum chassis with plastic
front panel and door. They come complete with three-wire
grounded, detachable AC line cord, racks, and instruction
manual. The high and neutral lines are fused and switched
for safety. They are all available in 100, 115, and 230VAC,
50/60 Hz versions.
